Guess the commercial
OK how about some old TV commercials. Write the thing out omitting giveaway words and the name of the product and see if anyone can guess/remember what was being advertised. I know this thread really excludes our younger posters and I apologise for that. You can always ask your parents if they know the answers if you want to join in.
Here's an easy one for a start. It would be from the late 50's.
This one was sung:
QCS, QCS, here's the meaning of QCS,
For Quick and Cheerful Services,
It's your ------ -------, QCS!
The one who gets it starts the next one off.

Re: Guess the commercial
Well, this is obviously a lot harder than I thought. OK let's make it a little easier.
The second word you are looking for is "Station". Come on you lot, you're not all under 50 out there.
